Hey guys, been having my drummer send me some samples of drums he's recording in his basement this week, and in comparison to some of the samples you guys have on this forum it seems as though every clip he sends to me, there's this sort of "beach ball" effect.... that's the only way i can describe it.
No matter how i process the fucking thing with eq, gate, etc... there's no getting around the horrible tone...
when i compare the kick to something like the "best kick on earth" sample around the forums, this thing pales in comparison. Actually, i think it's horrid.
I've been trying to tell my drummer that it's got to be the room he's recording in, but he insists that it's "just fine." I beg to differ....
If anyone could be so kind as to give these a listen, i'd love to know what sort of advice ya'all have, because i'm tired of listening to a beachball do double bass rolls all day
wav file of my buddy's kick.. new rubber beaters too... [still sounds like shit? lol]
